How To Become More Resilient and Not Give Up On Yourself Easily!

 Have you ever tried to learn a foreign language or some new skill and after few weeks of trying you gave up because you got busy or lost your motivation or simply got frustrated because it did not seem that you were making any progress?  Imagine instead of quitting you had made a commitment to yourself to practice that skill or studied that language for just 5 minutes, 5 days per week no matter how little progress you were making!  You would simply practice or studied for at least 5 minutes 5 days per week without judgment.  If you started doing that one year ago, do you think you would have mastered whatever skill you were trying to master or learn whatever language you were trying to learn by now?   Most likely yes and if you had not completely mastered it, you would have been well on your way.  Don't you wish you had made that commitment now?  Here is a quote I read once that made a huge difference in my life:  “Don't underestimate the potential of a small amount of time put to good use on a regular basis”  I live by this rule.

You need to apply the same type of thinking to your weight loss efforts.  Let me explain.  As you already know by now, the only way to achieve sustainable weight loss is to change the habitual behaviors that got you overweight and the only way to change habitual behaviors is to focus on changing one behavior at a time.  So far so Good?

As you are working on developing a new habitual behavior make a commitment to yourself that every day you would do something towards the development of that behavior, no matter how small the action is.  So for example, let say you were trying to develop the habit of doing more aerobics.  Make a commitment to yourself that you would walk on the treadmill or outside for at least 1 minute 5 days per week.  Don't judge yourself if you are getting any benefit from it or not, just do it judgment free.  Before you know it, the 1 minute becomes 2 minutes and then 5 minutes and so on.  Before you know it you will be doing 20 and 30 minutes habitually.

As you are working towards the development of this behavior you will have negative thoughts that would try to convince you to stop because you are not getting any results from just doing 1 or 2 minutes of aerobics.  Remind yourself that if you quit your efforts to develop this behavior and the rest of them, a year from now you would be looking back at this moment thinking, “If I only stuck with the program and did not quit, by now I would have developed all the healthy behaviors that I needed to lose weight and improve my health and now I would be enjoying a lean and healthy body, instead of suffering the consequences of being overweight and out of shape” You would be wishing you had a time machine that could take you back to this moment to convince yourself not to quit.    So do yourself a favor and don’t quit.

So, every time you think of quitting your efforts to develop a healthy behavior or eliminate an unhealthy one, think of how you would feel a year from now, about your decision to quit today?  Remember, there will be days you will not feel motivated to workout or to eat right, on those days just do enough to keep the momentum going.

The focus should always be to do at least something toward the development of the behavior you are working on, it does not have to be big.  Nobody has the perfect schedule when you have more time or you are more motivated do more, but when you don't have that much time or lack motivation do less, but always do something.  By doing something every day, that trains your subconscious mind to take over the behavior and make it habitual.

Do you remember how you learned to ride a bike?  I am sure you fell down few times, but you did not quit, why?  Because you knew it was only a matter of practice before you mastered the skill of riding the bike.  The thought that you might not be able to learn to ride a bike did not cross your mind or if it did you parents or whoever taught you to ride, dismissed the idea right of way and reinforced the idea that you could. Well, developing and making habitual any other behavior is no different.  Just keep practicing the behavior you want to make habitual the best you can, yo

u will mess up from time to time, but sooner or later you will master it just like you have mastered many other skills that you have today.  We all need a little encouragement from time to time, and that is the purpose of this report on the Right Mindset, to remind you that yes you can develop or eliminate any behavior you chose to, all you have to do is keep practicing.

We Have The Solution To The Weight Problem, But It's Hard to Get The Word Out!

Let me start with a question.  Why do you think we were able to figure out how to send a man to the moon and back safely, but we can’t figure out how to solve our weight problem?

The answer has a lot to do with the difference between the reasons why the space agency was trying to travel to the moon and back and why most of the companies involved in the weight loss industry are trying to solve the weight problem.

The space agency was trying to send a man to the moon and back because the US government asked them to do so and they were paying for it.  In addition, if they solved that problem, they would stand to make a lot more money in the future.  The government did not give the space agency any restrictions on how they needed to accomplish that goal.  They were free to use whatever technologies or materials they need it in order to achieve that objective.

On the other hand, most of the companies involved in finding a solution to the weight problem are companies that make their money through the sales of their products, not the government.   For example, diet companies like Jenny Craig, Nutri-System, and Weight Watchers are owned by food companies and make most of their money through the sales of food.  NordicTrack makes most of their money selling exercise equipment and companies, like GNC, make most of their money selling supplements.  So, although I am sure, all of these company are looking for the solution to the weight problem and truly want to help people, they are only interested in a solution that would increase the sales of whatever they are selling.  If a solution does not involve their product, they have no interest in that solution and  I can't say I blame them.  So you see, although they are all looking for the solution to the weight problem, they are not free to come up with any solution that would fix the problem, like NASA. The solution must include what they are selling. 

This is why the space agency was able to get us to the moon and back but the weight loss industry is still not able to definitively solve our weight problem.

In most cases, whatever those companies are selling, is part of the solution, but not the complete solution.  So, yes, you do need to exercise, but exercise only plays a small role in weight loss and fitness.(Much smaller than people are made to believe). But if I am selling exercise equipment, I would focus on promoting the exercise part as the most important part.  Here is another example:  Although the foods you eat do play a role in weight loss and health, what plays a much bigger role, is how long do you allow your body to go without food.  Allowing your body to go without food for a period of time is extremely beneficial to your health and weight and this is a proven fact.  How come you never hear this from most weight loss programs?  Well, most of the popular weight loss programs are owned by food companies like Nestle, and Heinz.  It is not in their best interest for people not to eat.  So their weight loss programs only focus on telling you the benefits of eating their food, but they will not tell you about the benefits of taking a break from eating. 

The end result, is you have all these weight loss programs that offer only part of the solution, but they are promoted like they are the complete solution.  This is why the weight loss industry is full of misinformation and half-truths that only produce temporary results.  Now you know how in the past 25 years, although we have more than doubled the amount of money we spend on weight loss products and services, the obesity rate has almost tripled from around 12% to over 36% today and over 70% of the population is overweight.

How Can We Solve The Weight Problem?

The simple truth is that we already know what needs to be done in order to lose weight and improve our health, and there are many people and small companies like mine, that is teaching the truth to people and are making a real difference in their life.  The reason we were able to solve the weight problem was because we are only selling information.  

Since we are not selling supplements, food, or equipment, we are not limited to how to solve the weight problem.  Our only objective was to come up with the best way we could help people lose weight, get in shape and stay in shape. The better our solution worked the more informational products we could sell.  But just because you have the answer it does not mean you can make a difference.  You need to get the answer out to the people who need it and that is where we have the problem.    

Big companies spend millions of dollars every year on marketing and promoting what benefits the sales of their product and also suppress any information that could hurt the sales of their products.  We, on the other hand, have a very limited marketing budget and can't compete with the big companies, so our message gets drowned in the sea of weight loss misinformation and half-truths.  Yes, our message does get through to some people but not enough to make a difference in the weight loss battle. 

Our solution to the weight problem is called the Live Your Way Thin System and it's unlike any other weight loss program on the market today.  With our program you will be able to lose weight and more importantly keep it off without counting calories, points or measuring your food, also without long and hard workouts that leave you in pain.  To learn more visit our website: www.LiveYourWayThin.com
